I continued thinking up ways to ward of the various people trying to get closer to Jahi at the Duchess' ball when I heard the Marquess get up.
I watched as she stretched before making her way towards the door, looking back over her shoulder as she said "Well, they shouldn't be home for another few hours, so make sure you eat and rest~"
Nodding, I looked back down at the water, enjoying the silence that fell in the room.
Time passed, my body slowly returning to its natural state thanks to the influx of mana from Undine's Blessing.
Getting up, I dried myself off before putting on my maid dress that the Marquess had left outside.
Picking up the last thing I needed to wear, I moved to the mirror and watched as I slipped the collar onto my neck, pulling it tight. Twisting it, I shivered as I saw the small gold pendant laying against my skin.
Grabbing it, I bit my lip before exiting the room, making my way around the castle as I picked up the things I would need for tonight.
